Biden will ‘name and shame’ those not serious about global warming

Biden, the Democratic presidential front-runner for 2020, not only plans on imposing a domestic climate change agenda, but also pledged to use tariffs, trade quotas, international finance and political pressure to bring the rest of the world along with us.

“Science tells us that how we act or fail to act in the next 12 years will determine the very livability of our planet,” Biden said in a video statement released Tuesday.

Biden said he’d invest $1.7 trillion so that by 2050 the U.S. is “a 100% clean-energy economy with net-zero emissions.” He said federal spending will leverage $5 trillion in private, state and local spending on climate change.

Biden promises to go “well beyond” President Barack Obama’s climate change agenda, including executive actions to cut emissions, push electric vehicles and energy efficiency regulations and allegedly create 10 million jobs. Though, Biden is careful not to mention the Green New Deal backed by his 2020 competition, which is opposed by labor unions.

All these promises “will be paid for by reversing the excesses of the Trump tax cuts for corporations, reducing incentives for tax havens, evasion, and outsourcing, ensuring corporations pay their fair share, closing other loopholes in our tax code that reward work not wealth, and ending subsidies for fossil fuels,” according to Biden’s campaign website.

Other 2020 Democratic candidates pledged to reverse tax cuts President Donald Trump signed into law as well as end fossil fuel subsidies — much of which helps low-income Americans to heat their homes in winter.

Biden’s plan also focuses on punishing countries, like China, that don’t do enough to fight global warming. Biden plans to “[n]ame and shame global climate outlaws.”

“The U.S. Department of State publishes rankings of country’s records on human trafficking and human rights,” reads Biden’s plan, which promises “a new Global Climate Change Report to hold countries to account for meeting, or failing to meet, their Paris commitments and for other steps that promote or undermine global climate solutions.”

By that logic, however, most countries are not on track to meet the goals of the Paris climate accord, which Obama joined in 2016 and Trump has since promised to exit — mostly on grounds it advantaged China over the U.S.

“The rest of the world has to step up as well,” Biden said in the video before calling out China, the largest carbon dioxide-emitting country in the world.

“We’ll not only hold their leaders accountable for reducing carbon output at home in their country, but make sure they stop financing billions of dollars of dirty fossil fuel projects all across Asia.”

Biden’s tough China rhetoric over climate change comes after the former vice president was hit by Republicans and Democrats for saying China’s “not competition for us.” Critics also went after Biden for his son’s business ties to China.

Biden would “impose carbon adjustment fees or quotas on carbon-intensive goods from countries that are failing to meet their climate and environmental obligations,” according to his plan.

“Biden will also condition future trade agreements on partners’ commitments to meet their enhanced Paris climate targets,” reads Biden’s plan. Biden would make similar climate demands in future bilateral agreements between the U.S. and China.

The former vice president also laid out how he’d “[s]top China from subsidizing coal exports and outsourcing carbon pollution,” including emissions from China’s so-called “Belt and Road Initiative” to finance infrastructure across Asia.

Biden says he’d counter that influence by offering countries financing for green energy projects and restructure how the International Monetary Fund prioritizes repayment of debts for fossil fuel projects.

“Biden will rally a united front of nations to hold China accountable to high environmental standards in its Belt and Road Initiative infrastructure projects, so that China can’t outsource pollution to other countries,” reads Biden’s plan.

“How is he going to pay for it?”
He said by reversing the tax cuts… and closing tax loop holes. I think he should close the big one
in his head.. where all the brains leaked out.

On his claim of “clean-energy economy with net-zero emissions.” He’s lying like a rug.
You simply can’t built whirly gigs and solar panels without creating “emissions” you freaking
brain dead child groper. I wonder if the SService peeps have to kick the dunce to make
him remember to breath???

Here it is – June 4th 2019 – and we’re still burning wood because the low is ten degrees above freezing. I’ll be burning garbage trees outside this ‘summer’ just to help raise the global temperature a bit.

Groper joe the little girl bully can’t even come up with a original thought on his own. Then he steals the one OACrazio had already come up with. In true demontarded fashion the stupid runs rampid, and the ideas are non existent. This idiot life long grifter of the government pig trough has done nothing except make schools/gov building more unsafe with another of his brainless ideas Gun Free Zones. If you want to know how his climatard idea would work just look at how well gun free zones have worked.
Electing a dumber then a box of rocks biden would move the US to a reality IDIOTOCRACY.

On bidens no original thoughts It Seems it’s back to plagiarism for groper joe the little girl pedophile is being accused AGAIN of stealing someone else work. The blue green alliance used the carbon capture analogy in a 2017 letter to the senate. Must be ol plugs biden got a hold of it
and used it almost word for word (or the handler that has it’s hand up ol joe the dummys azz). So this is his 3rd strike out on plagiarism. Serial liar, and serial groper and dumber then a box of
rocks, the perfect leftist slime candidate.
